Ground Beef Recalled for Possible E. Coli O103 Contamination

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Caviness Beef Packers is recalling approximately 2,100 pounds of boneless beef trim products that may be contaminated with E. coli O103. The beef trim was further processed by another firm into various ground beef products, approximately 320 pounds of which were shipped to retail locations in Texas. No adverse reactions have been confirmed to date, but the company is concerned that consumers may still have these products in their freezers. You should return the affected meat to the place of purchase for a refund or throw it away.

Risk

The beef may be contaminated with E. coli O103, which can cause diarrhea (often bloody) and vomiting. While rare, this infection can lead to hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), a type of kidney failure most common in young children and older adults, marked by easy bruising and decreased urine output.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your refrigerator or freezer for 10 lb. chubs of 73% Regular Ground Beef with UPC 52846-48935 and a Use By or Freeze By date of October 10, 2016.
  2. Check for 2-3 lb. tray packs of 73% Regular Ground Beef with UPC 2-01656-00000 and a Sell By date of September 28, 2016.
  3. Check for 1.5 lb. tray packs of 73% Regular Ground Beef with UPC 2-01654-00000 and a Sell By date of September 28, 2016.
  4. Identify the product by the packaging details above; note that while the beef originated from Caviness Beef Packers (EST. 675), the final retail packaging may not bear that establishment number.
  5. Return the product to the place of purchase for a full refund, throw it away, or contact the manufacturer at (806) 372-5781 for further instructions.
  6. Call the USDA Meat & Poultry Hotline at 1-888-674-6854 if you have additional food safety questions.
